Re: [udig-devel] Remaining Printing Work

[rgould@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Just finishing for the night. I have created a new extension point for
BoxFactories. It is used by the PageEditor to populate the Palette (the thing on
the right side of the page editor) with visible boxes. (Currently this only
includes the Label Box). This means that you can now create more than one label
box per page ;)
